5. It was replied also, that by the Defender his rule by parity of reason) it might be gathered, that of Ceremonies instituted by Christ, those only are commanded, which he did sanctify in particular. No: (saith •he Rejoinder) because in institution of the Sacraments, •her was ordained a continuance in the like kind. Do this. And was there not also, in the prohibition of Ceremonies human, Idolatrously abused, ordained a continuance in the like kind, in those words, Deut. 12. thou •halt not do so to the Lord thy God?

6. From the same rule, the Replier said, it may be ⟨p. 480⟩concluded, that no Popish Ceremonies are Jewish, or Heathenish: because they are not the same individually, or in particular. Not so neither (saith the Rejoinder) because they use Jewish Typicals; and others, as still in force by the Jews laws; and Pagan Rites, with the like intention. But 1. The Papists do not use Jewish Typicals, as types of Christ yet to come; and therefore according to the Def. and Rej. their sentence, must be excused: because they hold Circumcision it self lawful to Christians, pag. 285. 2. They do not hold any Ceremonial Jewish laws to bind Christians. See Bellarmine, de justificatione, lib. 4. cap. 6. It is neither good, nor safe, to accuse any beyond their deserts. 3. Likeness of intention, betwixt Pagans and Papists, is such as admitteth much dislikeness. And such likeness there is betwixt our Ceremonies, and Popish.
